First it was the broadcast of the live video, which although it was not Twitter who invented it, it was the one who popularized it among the masses. Now is 360-degree video, the new way of showing the world everything around us. Twitter just announced that it is working to support 360-degree video through its Periscope live video application, a live video service that has become one of the most popular and in-demand services in recent months. by users.
This new feature will work just like the services that already offer this type of service. Videos broadcast in this format will include the Live 360 tag and in order to view everything that surrounds the scene in question, we will have to move the image with our finger. According to Periscope on his blog where he published the news, 360-degree videos is a step forward for users to immerse themselves in the content they are viewing, as if they were part of the action.
360-degree video isn't just about taking us to places we've never been, it's about connecting with people and experiencing something new with them. With these videos, the user offers a way to make users participate in the environment in which they are sharing it.
360-degree videos are supported by the Periscope application just like the desktop version, except if we use the Safari browser, which at the moment is not compatible with this function. At the moment this function is in beta, so only a few users have had access to it. As soon as the service is ready, within a few weeks at the latest, this function will be available to all users of the platform.
